i have five weeks and i had a ultrasound at docs office and i only had the sac inside my uterus . my doc siad is too early to see the fetal . has this happend to anyone else? is this normal just to have the sac inside ur uteus?

I went at 5w3d and she said she could see the heartbeat on the ultrasound, but I couldn't really tell and it was very early on anyway. Went back at 6w5d and it was very visible and very loud. The baby still looked like a fuzzy grain of rice, but you could definitely see something was contracting and releasing at a fast rate. 125 bpm for us.

Seems you're nervous because of what happened to your friend more than anything. Sounds like you're still pregnant. My breasts were more sore on some days than others. My back also aches now and then, but it's the ligaments stretching and being more tender. I even pulled a back and arm muscle from sneezing too hard. Most likely you're fine. I know, I wish there was a sedative for the first trimester.

I went in for my 1st appointment today. I'm 9w6d...so I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow. They couldn't hear the heartbeat, so I'm going in for an US tomorrow. This will be such a relief to see the baby on the US...so I don't have to worry; since I didn't hear the heartbeat.
